Reading a new review is great for hearing initial impressions for a product, but finding out if that “new gadget smell” lasts several months, or years later helps you find out if it’s really worth investing in it. Today we check in with six reviews that Bill Kuch posted in the past two years to

IK Multimedia iRig acoustic guitar microphone review

IKMultimedia 5

I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for more than 40 years. Same guitar, but I’m hopefully a little better for the years of practice. A decade or so ago, I had my guitar retrofitted with an internal pickup, since I was playing regularly into a sound system. Recently, however, I’m more interested in getting that sound

Qicent Surge Supressor with USB surper charger review

Qicent 1

This is another product category that has moved from being a geeky thing to perfectly normal for people in all walks of life. In the last year, I have seen power cords and surge suppressors that have several USB plugs for charging phones or tablets in coffee shops, malls, bars, and waiting areas in healthcare

Fluance Fi70 Three-Way Wireless Speaker review

Fluance Fi70 01

Your eyes do not deceive you.  There’s a hole in this speaker.  The first time our own Bill Henderson mentioned the Fluance Fi70, I knew I just had to try it.  But would the unusual looks translate into a something that sounded decent?  I’ve got enough speakers.  Why would I want another?  I told myself I

Inateck MP1305 iPad Pro/MacBook Air sleeve review

Inateck MP1305 2

Finding the perfect laptop sleeve is a lesson in compromise. The optimal design most people seek is a balance between protection, fashion, storage and utility. Just exactly what qualities are most important is based on one’s own proclivity for each feature. The Inateck MP1305 sleeve delivers a fashion forward design with the ability to prop up the computer for video playback or

SecuPower 50W 5 Port Desktop USB Charger review

SecuPower 5 Port USB Hub 6

It’s come to this. In today’s ever-increasing reliance on powered smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth speakers and any other gadget we’re addicted to, they have one thing in common: they all require charging. If you have a family, charging can become a hassle when outlets around the house get clogged with charging plugs. It’s similar to not

Annke C301 720P Digital Game Cam Trail Camera review

annke trailcam 2

Home security cameras are perfect for keeping an eye on the interior and exterior of your home, but how can you easily find out if there are animals (or people) creeping around in your woods or yard without having to run Ethernet cables for communications and wires for power? One way is to setup a

X-Doria Defense Gear for iPhone 6S/6 Plus review

xdoria defensebumper 1

It’s no secret that I love my iPhone cases. Whether it is a bumper or full body, being able to customize my phone to look different than others while protecting it is just something I enjoy. So when X-Doria asked about reviewing one of their cases, I battled back and forth before choosing their X-Doria

RHA S500i in-ear headphone review

RHA S500i 1

To say that something is cheap without being cheap can mean either it’s expensive but not well made or it’s not expensive yet well made. The RHA S500i in-ear headphone fits into the latter category. I’ve been using these earphones for a couple of months and still marvel how Scottish audio company Reid Heath Acoustics, Ltd.

Ecovacs Deebot D45 bare floor cleaning robot review

deebot d45 3

When it comes to house cleaning chores, I’m probably not much different than you. I can find a thousand things I’d rather do than sweep and mop floors. That’s why I love robotic vacuums. I’ve been using the Neato BotVac 80 for over a year and absolutely love that I rarely need to vacuum because
